What is Vehicle Infrastructure Integration Vehicle infrastructure integration (VII) is an initiative fostering research and application development for a series of technologies directly linking road vehicles to their physical surroundings, first and foremost to improve road safety. The technology draws on several disciplines, including transport engineering, electrical engineering, automotive engineering, and computer science. VII specifically covers road transport, although similar technologies are in place or under development for other modes of transport. Planes, for example, use ground-based beacons for automated guidance, allowing the autopilot to fly the plane without human intervention. In highway engineering, improving the safety of a roadway can enhance overall efficiency. VII targets to improve both safety and efficiency.

Who this book is for Professionals, undergraduate and graduate students, enthusiasts, hobbyists, and those who want to go beyond basic knowledge or information for any kind of Vehicle Infrastructure Integration.

This report provides the technical description of the Vehicle Infrastructure Integration (VII) system developed for the Cooperative Agreement Program between the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) and Vehicle Infrastructure Integration Consortium (VIIC). The basic architectural elements are summarized and detailed descriptions of the hardware and software systems are provided along with the descriptions of the applications used to assess the system.

This report summarizes a program of work resulting from a Cooperative Agreement between USDOT and the VII Consortium to develop and test a Proof of Concept VII system based on DSRC wireless communication between an infrastructure and mobile terminals. It supports applications for improvement in safety, mobility and enables other commercial applications. Key findings and recommendations for further work are presented.
